In addition to the integration of new light sources, the main task for the creation of innovative competitive systems in the area of motor vehicle lighting will be found in the intelligent adaptation of the technical parameters and characteristics of lighting to different conditions of use and environment. In the frontlighting sector, cornering light that switches on automatically and dynamic bend lighting are already being used in series applications. Probably as soon as next year, variable beam patterns will allow adaptation of the frontlighting to different types of roads. In the case of combination rear lamps, a system has been developed that allows adaptation to environmental brightness and visibility conditions. An improved signalling effect is also guaranteed by the dynamic stop signal, which is already being used in series applications. As far as interior lighting is concerned, adaptive controls can contribute to more relaxed and safer driving by adapting brightness.
